1824/4 Capped Bust Half Dollar. O-109. Rarity-2. MS-64 (PCGS). Secure Holder.A fully lustrous example bathed in richly original patina. Sharply defined from an expertly centered strike, this is a lovely example that would do justice to a high grade type set or advanced collection of early half dollar varieties. Overton-109 is one of the most easily attributable and popular die marriages of the 1824 half dollar. The digit 4 in the date is prominently repunched, as is the letter C in AMERICA on the reverse. While examples are not rare in an absolute sense, Mint State survivors are elusive. This near-Gem is solidly in the Condition Census for the variety, ranking behind only an MS-66 and two MS-65s in the Spring 2017 revision to Stephen J. Herrmans <em>Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839</em>.From Heritages CSNS Signature Auction of April 2012, lot 4420; Charles Link Collection.
